Hermès Editeur: Variations autour de La Longue Marche

For the 4th edition of the Hermès Éditeur project, Hermès invited Julio Le Parc, a major proponent of kinetic and optical art, to appropriate its emblematic silk scarf. A veritable hymn to colour, Julio Le Parc‘s proposition, Variations autour de La Longue Marche, constitutes a series of variations around his original work, La Longue Marche (1974-1975), using the fourteen colours of the chromatic prism or playing with “non-colours” (white, black, grey).

It resulted in an edition of ten series of six silk scarves, each one unique, revealed for the first time at the Museum der Kulturen Basel and on sale as of June 2015 on www.hermes-editeur.com
